Description
The CDB42L73 board is a dedicated platform for testing
and evaluating the CS42L73, an ultralow power mobile
audio and telephony CODEC.
To allow comprehensive testing of CS42L73 features
and performance, extensive hardware and software
configurable options are available on the CDB42L73.
Hardware options, such as power-supply settings, are
configured via jumpers on the stake headers.
Software options, such as registry settings for the
CS42L73, are configured with the FlexGUI software,
which communicates with the CDB42L73 via USB from
a Windows
®
compatible computer. In addition, digital
I/O headers on the CDB42L73 allow external control
signals (for example, an external DSP or microcontrol-
ler) to configure and interface with the CS42L73 and
other devices directly without the use of FlexGUI.
The CDB42L73 also serves as a good component and
layout reference for the CS42L73.
